LEGO versions of famous artworks

Peter Laven, an artist from Texas, recreated famous paintings like Leonardo da Vinci's The Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch's The Scream, Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, and the iconic Japanese artwork The Great Wave using only LEGO bricks. The perfect mixture of colors used by Laven, who uses the pseudonym Morphy, makes these well known masterpieces easily recognizable.

The Chameleon

Damon Albarn is a genius. He constantly reinvents himself, pushes his boundaries, and challenges his listeners. From the raw energy of Blur to the diverse soundscapes of Gorillaz, his solo work, and his collaborations with other artists, Damon has proven himself to be one of the most talented and unpredictable musicians alive.

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.

A story about a duck who likes being different

The hilarious "Duckie Duck" by Kate Toms is one of my recommendations for kids learning to read. My son got this book from his aunt in Calgary a few years ago and since then has become one of his favorites. First of all, this is not your average duck tale. This is a story about a fowl who, candidly, seems to have missed the memo on duck protocol. Most ducks quack, but Duckie whistles. Others love to swim, but not him — Duckie likes boat rides. While other water birds fly, he enjoys floating inside a hot air balloon. The rhyming text and delightful hand-stitched illustrations make the book visually appealing to children. So, if you're looking for a book to teach your quirky little kids to read, "Duckie Duck" is just perfect.
